The exploration of scalar field theories that exhibit Carroll and Galilei symmetries has attracted a lot of attention. In this paper, we generalize these studies to fermionic field theories and construct consistent electric and magnetic…

We investigate the supersymmetric versions of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs or, equivalently, conformal Carroll symmetry in boundary dimensions $d>3$, with applications of flat space holography in mind. We identify the contraction of the relativistic…

We construct the Carrollian equivalent of the relativistic energy--momentum tensor, based on variation of the action with respect to the elementary fields of the Carrollian geometry. We prove that, exactly like in the relativistic case, it…

We study the concept of Carrollian spacetime starting from its underlying fiber-bundle structure. The latter admits an Ehresmann connection, which enables a natural separation of time and space, preserved by the subset of Carrollian…

We study complex scalar theories with dipole symmetry and uncover a no-go theorem that governs the structure of such theories and which, in particular, reveals that a Gaussian theory with linearly realised dipole symmetry must be…

Surface charges and their algebra in interacting Lagrangian gauge field theories are investigated by using techniques from the variational calculus. In the case of exact solutions and symmetries, the surface charges are interpreted as a…

Massive integrable field theories in $1+1$ dimensions are defined at the Lagrangian level, whose classical equations of motion are related to the ``non-abelian'' Toda field equations. They can be thought of as generalizations of the…

We discuss kinematical features of conformal Carroll field theories in three dimensions (3d). Conformal extension of Carroll algebra is infinite dimensional even in 3d unlike its relativistic counterpart, and hence 3d Carroll CFTs share…
